Yes and I'm enjoying it. We are suffering from the mistake of our past leaders of which your Jesus of otuoke is among.

PDP will NEVER return. we hate corruption. if a bag of sachet water is sold for 400 without corruption, I like it because, it will encourage local production.

Wail on, it fits you and your wailing changes nothing.

#Ilovemypresident
You really know nothing about production! That same bag of water going for ₦400 can be manufactured in China and imported into Nigeria for a total cos of ₦150 per bag. How does that now encourage local production?

By my calculation: 6.

My working.
12 divide repeatedly by 2 gives:
12,6,3,1,0. Including the first argument,12.
The first 2 even numbers generates 1 multiplication each, thats 2 .
The odd number 3,generates 2 multiplications.
1 generates 2.
0 generates no multiplication.
Total=6.
The options available are 12,9,8,6,5

ProgrammingRe: Computer Science/programming Challenging Questions by airsaylongcon(op):
OK warm up with this. Remember that these are exam questions meant to be answered in approximately 2 minutes. Without the use of a compiler or stuff like that

Consider the following function
double p (double b, unsigned int e)
{
if (e==0)
return 1.0;
else
if (even(e))
return p(b*b, e/2);
else
return p(b*b, e/2)*b;
}

How many multiplication are executed as a result of the call p(5.0, 12). Divisions SHOULD NOT be included in this total

ProgrammingComputer Science/programming Challenging Questions by airsaylongcon(op): 3:04am On Feb 29, 2016
after a 30 page brutal war with seunthomas, a legend on the programing section (no disrespect implied or intended) I have observed that loads of programmers here are very good at what they do. However there seems to be a dearth in "academic" knowledge of the fundamentals of our profession. To this end I would like to use this thread to gauge our knowledge of the key fundamentals of computing. I have access to a set of questions that left me gasping for air when I tried to solve them. I would like to share these questions with other geek heads here for us to try and solve them while explaining our solutions. Perhaps we can develop the ability to solve "academic" computing questions which are crucial as multinational software Corporations throw these kind of questions to their recruits. All of thee questions are multiple choice questions and while I do have the answers, I do not have explanations of how the answers were arrived at. So the key task here is not the just to mention the answer but to explain the reasoning behind your choice.

If I get 20 views or 5 responses then I will start posting questions and I will really be glad to rub minds with y'all super geeks

I have solved your problem, bro. It took me an hour. its titled "Larisoft Clean Desktop". I will drop the larisoft name in it once its accepted as something useful and something everyone can work on.

The code is currently very basic, but serves the functions above.

If the guys here approve of my efforts, we can then work to make it better.


github :https://github.com/larisoft/cleanDesktop

You can download and install the app directly from

http://tfellow.com/larisoftCleanDesktop.zip

THANKS.
OP, larisoft clean desktop solved most of your requirements before you even posted this challenge. Myself and larisoft are not *coughs* best *cough cough* of *clears throat * friends. But I respect his world even though we don't see eye to eye

@airsaylong.con I wrote a similar program using watcher not long ago. So as for your surprise, not moved na. The solution was the elegant way to go unlike anyhing you have provided which is always mired in debate and controversy. Like i said, i dont need to prove anything to you and your band wagon na. If you see light and prefer mediocrity, then be my guest. It should actually show you that contrary to what u and many of your bandwagons believe and preach, i am not out to destroy anyone. Someone was said progress is when we appreciate the good and correct the bad or is that wrong?? If you create good code, i wont critic na but commend...

Oh no! Most definitely not. But was he unaware that NFF persistently owe salaries? In his analysis prior to taking the job he must have factored that in as a risk. And I believe it must have been a risk he was willing to live with if not he would not have taken it.

EducationRe: JAMB: Share Your Experience by airsaylongcon: 10:24pm On Feb 27, 2016
From an exam administrator's perspective I'm interested in knowing how secure the systems used by the examinees were. Was there unrestricted access to the system? Could you load any program you wanted? Say Microsoft paint or solitaire? What browser was used? And did you have access to the browsers menus (file,edit,etc). Did u have access to the browsers navigation buttons (forward and back)? Where shortcut buttons (eg CTRL+ALT+DELETE) functional? Could you close the web browser and relaunch it again? Was there remote monitoring of the computer? Was it one question per screen? Or several questions were asked per screen? Did the English include any comprehension passages? How many? Where they the same for all candidates or did they differ from candidate to candidate? Where there any questions that said something like "use the following diagram to answer questions 13-15"?Is the system connected to the internet?
Are the questions sitting on a server in the LAN for a given centre or do all candidates pull questions from a national central server?
I'm asking all these questions not because I want to hack or violate the integrity of the examination. I feel that there are lot of lapses in how CBTs are conducted in the country with great room for improvement using the right technology and system configuration. So please share your experiences.

I have decided against popular opinion not to engage in this any longer. I hope the thread dies of soon. When you need answer to something you need to learn to be polite and not haul insult on the person who has the solution. I guess thats what some of the commenters on the thread lack. They want to bully me into given them solution for their f*ck up. It does not work that way.
Seunthomas, I sat down for two hours to type out that step-by-step solution and after telling me that it is incorrect you say you won't tell me where I went wrong or tell me what your "right" answer is. Really? Are you for real? After you said alcohol had killed all my brain cells? Me a mere warehouse rat?

I have no words in describing you. If you want to get the test bank where I got the questions mention me and I will tell you where to look.
